I get that our titular hero is a literal cheat code that destroys the tension of any fight, but I swear this manga would be better if he was a bit less in the background. The cycle is really painfully obvious at this point, hype up monsters by having them do things while he's off screen, wanders in saves day. Maybe this is all building up to everyone finally recognizing the baldy cape as the hero he is in this arc, but I'm a smidge tired of the drag to get to his arrival to save the day where he disappears for a months at a time in terms of publication.

This arc has had excellent action though and thats a p thin criticism if im honest.

That sure is different hopefully Viz puts that up cause it seems like there is a lot more going on there than the kinda confusing quick battle they had originally.

Reminder that Mr. Satan is as physically capable as Goku was when he fought Raditz. So way behind the main characters by that point, but dang if the man doesn't deserve respect.

He was a man born at the wrong time in history kinda, but he made mad bank on it so I guess it worked out.

The pages added make the chapter make a lot more sense. The Tatsumaki/Blast part felt like I had missed pages, good to know that it's because I did.

I was also confused and now I am not. Those were important missing pages.

My prediction is that both Garou and Saitama will both struggle with their respective opponents (I don't think Saitama killed Evil Ocean Water, and I think he'll have to be creative to come up with a way to stop it), and the story will highlight their similarities while giving Garou another opportunity to level up - just in time for their final match.

Alternatively once again Saitama is so loving powerful he has obliterated Evil Ocean Water (the centipede said so) and it will be missed again because no one really saw him do it.

I think it will take them both to punch down the giant centipede tho.

I'm extremely confused, it looks like they redrew the latest chapter to make Saitama less sympathetic which pushed Garou towards "God"

https://tonarinoyj.jp/episode/3270296674344129439

I wonder if its some kind of meta time travel type thing where "God" literally influenced the comic itself?? This is dumb I'm dumb.

Now I'm very confused

Even wilder is that Viz published the original chapter as their official release when this one seemingly wasn't even days behind.

e: this looks like it'll be fun, but its no where near as compelling as the original release. Garou just got tricked bad.

What even is Garou’s plan at this point?

Seems very straight forward, he wants to demonstrate such overwhelming power he will be the only "evil" in the world. Hero's won't need to do a job anymore because everyone will be too afraid of him to try it and/or he will squash any opposition to his position at the top of the food chain.

But Saitama

Justin Lin can direct the gently caress out of an action sequence and give it enough heart to be not a soulless thing, but live action anime is just a concerning position to start from.

Anyone notice that weird crater on the dark side of the moon? I don't remember seeing that before now.

We know "God" has been loving around in the moon before, I bet its part of whatever that is to be close to the action. Def looks creepy monstery for sure. It's for sure new info we haven't seen the dark side of the moon before I don't think.

Modern shounen Anti Heroes might as well all just be Vegeta, who I'm sure could be modeled after some character from a 60s/70s series I'm unaware of. shounen is not exactly doing new things, just using the familiar things in hopefully fun and cool ways. OPM regularly subverts those things which makes it so good.

Who came first? hardly matters since they're all cribbing from somewhere else no matter what.

Eyeshield 21 was good poo poo, although like a lot of sports things I think the author took some liberties with how the rules of the game work for DRAMA. The finish bugged me as a ref cause that's just not how a game would finish, but I enjoyed the hell out of it. A one shot will be fun.

Genos being in such a self-conscious rut takes a little away from this excellent scene.



Kind of, but Genos doesn't really consider his humanity a strength. to his point compared to Saitama he still ain't close to him (its just an insanely unfair comparison given what we know about Saitama's strength).

Despite the films visual its way more likely that liquid metal was simply subcutaneously injected and sat like a vaccine would under the skin except it likely wouldn't get absorbed into your body as quickly. Magneto realistically would have ripped a hole in this dudes rear end cheek removing the iron instead of bleeding it out of him, but hey rule of cool.
